You can override a non-labor standard bill rate for non-labor expenditure types and non-labor resources.
When you override a usage expenditure type, the override applies to all non-labor resources within that usage expenditure type.
When you override a non-labor resource within a usage expenditure type, the override applies to that particular non-labor resource only, and does not apply to other non-labor resources within that usage expenditure type.
Any non-labor bill rate override you enter takes precedence over non-labor bill rates or markups from your task's standard non-labor bill rate schedules.
Any non-labor bill rate override you enter for this task takes precedence over any project non-labor bill rate override.
Note: Discount override is first applied to the standard non-labor bill rates at the task level. If there are no bill rates defined at the task level, the discount override is applied at the project level standard non-labor bill rate.
Suggestion: When you define bill rate overrides for expenditure types that relate to inventory items, it is recommended that you use cost markups instead of rates. When you specify a bill rate for an expenditure type that relates to inventory items, the base unit of measure for the inventory transactions reported under the expenditure type must be the same as the unit of measure for the expenditure type. If the base unit of measure for an inventory transaction differs from the unit of measure for the expenditure type, then the override is not applied to that transaction.
To override non-labor bill rates, you must select and expand Bill Rates and Discount Overrides from the list of options in the Projects, Templates window. You specify the following information for this option:
Expenditure Type: Enter the expenditure type.
Non-Labor Resource: Enter the non-labor resource whose bill rate you want to override.
Rate Currency: The default rate currency is the project functional currency. You can enter a currency that is different from the project functional currency if Enable Multi Currency Billing is checked for the project.
Note: A rate currency cannot be selected when a bill rate is a markup. The currency is determined from the option selected under Bill Transaction Currency for cost based revenue.
Rate: Enter the new rate you want to use.
Discount % Enter the discount percentage you want to apply to the standard non-labor bill rate.
Note: You can choose either a rate override, discount %, or a markup%.
Reason: Enter the reason for the rate or discount percentage override. A reason is required based on the Implementation Options setting.
Markup %: Enter the percentage of markup for this rate.
Effective From/To: Enter the date range this override is effective.
